Tales Upon Tales series MELISSA´S ARCHWAY 1. The Dwarf Kingdom. Part one. It is morning! I have waited for this day for a long time and I am finally twenty years old. Now I can leave the village and explore the outside world. I get up from the bed and go downstairs to get breakfast, I see my parents Elina and Gabin and my big sister Amber and big brother Arthur are already at the table eating breakfast. “Good morning!” I say cheerfully. “Gu mornin.” Dad says with a deep voice. “Morning.” Brother says and looks away. “Good morning.” Says my sister with a faint smile. “Good morning dear did you sleep well?” Mother says normally. “Yes of course I did.” I say with a smile. Actually, I was barely able to sleep because I was so excited to start my journey, but I can’t tell them that. They would just lecture me about the importance of sleep during a dangerous journey and how there would be a lot of ex...
Time wind Progress is a funny thing since it is hard to see it. It might be right there in front of you but as you get used to it and look into the future it doesn’t seem important. It seems like the basics or normal, you forget the struggles you had just to reach that point. It is amazing to get to that point but for you it holds no meaning. People around you can admire you for it and that is when it hits you but to what degree? Will you think of them as lower beings since they can’t reach the state of normality or will you feel good about being better for some time? In the end it wont matter.

What is the difference? Its not a real human? How real is a human that systematically praises you for nothing? So, you need to keep advancing and meet your own goals to really be happy, bu...
#15 We finally managed to kill the giant creature. It turned out that it was a giant turtle like creature. Our first attack on it did nothing to it. Not only was its shell really hard, even its legs which are supposed to be the weak point were tough. We kept attacking one of its legs after our ambush, but it felt like cutting a tree with a rusty axe. Sure, we left some marks and scratches, but we couldn’t even make it bleed. I tried using fire magic on its leg, but it didn’t seem effective. Then the skeleton used his new magic. Something black condensed on skeletons arms and when he cut with it, he actually got through. There was blood. Then the turtle got mad. Skeleton almost got squashed under the turtles’ foot. We all retreated for a moment to ponder what we should do. The turtle didn’t follow us. It wasn’t truly angry about getting wounded. Probably just annoyed. It kept calmly walking toward the elven forest after we left it alone. The elf that was with u...
